About
IHOP®

The place where people connect over breakfast, enjoy study breaks, and share smiles — since day one. No matter what you order, one ingredient is always on the menu.

"We know the shortest distance between two people is a smile. Smiles are so much a part of our culture that we changed our logo to include one."

An Overview

For over 61 years, the IHOP family restaurant chain has served our world famous pancakes and a wide variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items loved by people of all ages — offering an affordable, everyday dining experience with warm and friendly service.

IHOP restaurants are franchised and operated by Glendale, California-based International House of Pancakes, LLC — a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dine Brands Global (NYSE: DIN).

As of 2015, there were 1,650 IHOP restaurants in 50 states and the District of Columbia — as well as in Bahrain, Canada, Dubai (UAE), Guatemala, Kuwait, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Saudi Arabia, The Philippines, and the US Virgin Islands.

Today, IHOP Egypt brings that same warmth and world-famous flavour to Alexandria — with more cities on the horizon.

Our Philosophy

A Few Suggestions

Everyday life has enough rules. Sitting down for a delicious, comforting meal shouldn't have any. While we don't have official rules, we do have a few suggestions sure to make you smile.

  1. Come as you are.

    No need to dress to impress. Just like home, breakfast at IHOP® is where you can be comfortable, and 100% yourself.

  2. Savor every minute.

    Say goodbye to drive-thru meals. With so many menu items, you can relax, enjoy every bite, and be inspired to take on the day.

  3. Go with the flow.

    Texting is no match for actual talking — especially over a fresh cup of coffee. We'll keep it flowing so you can keep the conversation going.

  4. Be good to yourself.

    A wholesome breakfast gets you going. With menu options under 600 calories, you have more choices you can feel good about.

  5. Get it anytime.

    Breakfast just for breakfast? That's one rule we definitely don't follow at IHOP® — and neither should you.
